KHwab-e-hasti

wo zamane aur the jab tera gham sahta tha main
jab tere honTon ki rangini se kuchh kahta tha main

jab tere baalon se ghanTon khelta rahta tha main
bhul ja ai dost wo rangin zamane bhul ja

yak-ba-yak bijli si chamki aur nasheman luT gaya
tu ne barson jis ko sincha tha wo gulshan luT gaya

tu ne moti jis mein Tanke the wo daman luT gaya
bhul ja ai dost wo rangin zamane bhul ja

tujh ko jis dil se mohabbat thi wo ab dil hi nahin
raqs jis ka tujh ko bhata tha wo bismil hi nahin

rang-e-mahfil tujh se kya kahiye wo mahfil hi nahin
bhul ja ai dost wo rangin zamane bhul ja

ab na wo shauq-e-tasawwur, ab na wo zauq-e-fughan
miT rahe hain rafta rafta ahd-e-rafta ke nishan

dhundli dhundli si nazar aati hain kuchh parchhaiyan
bhul ja ai dost wo rangin zamane bhul ja

ye jawani, ye pareshani, ye paiham iztirab
bar-ha uljhan mein dauDa hun su-e-jam-e-sharab

bar-ha ghabra ke chheDa hai gunahon ka rabab
bhul ja ai dost wo rangin zamane bhul ja

rang-e-sahba aur hai sahba ki masti aur hai
zikr-e-pasti aur hai ehsas-e-pasti aur hai

KHwab-e-hasti aur hai tabir-e-hasti aur hai
bhul ja ai dost wo rangin zamane bhul ja
